IIRC the rule is something like "works on most UNIX with the GNU
toolchain on 32-bit Intel architectures". But even then, only if it's
built as PIC.
You're better off just not doing it, and a 32-bit assumption stopped
being reasonable long ago anyway, it's been nearly a decade since
commodity 64-bit desktop hardware hit the market...
I only vaguely recall the above rule since I haven't had a 32-bit
userspace for about that long :)
